Thank you Azraelle for your clothing advise. I notice the colours red and purple (and their shades) are best with these boots. That reminds me, I have a T shirt in a purple colour, that would be great for coming summer. Thank you Firefox for your advise. After going with the summery colours I can still dye them with similar shoe-dye from the local shoemaker. I think if I use a permanent marker, the black is wearing away because of the trousers. Well, I have to experiment with that. Thanks again both. Robert

Dr. Shoe, Thank you very much for your advise for using a permanent marker pen for colouring the boots. I've something to do the coming days. Azraelle, I'm for the darker look for shoes and boots myself, as - so they say - anything goes with the dark colours. What would you wear with these boots and in what colours? Regards, Robert

Hi,

I've ordered a pair of ankle boots from http://www.bigshoes.it/en/default.asp and they fit well.

I want to dye this boot in a dark colour.

They are made of man made material, the exterior is snake like printed, the lining is transpiring fabric (as they stated, it feels like rubber with a fabric) and they are stretchy.

Do I have to grind them after I had put lot of paper in them to stretch the pleats?

What kind of paint do I have to use?

Thank you in advance

Robert

I saw a woman this morning in Rotterdam walking to the tram-station. She was a young Chinese woman wearing pink (!) wedge boots (!) I think they were around 4 inch high. I was with my colleague in the car, he kept his eyes on the road and I kept my eyes on the boots

Here are some quotes from her about shoes: "I have a love for shoes. I collect them. Race cars, paintings; those aren't my thing. I just hang shoes on the wall. They're architecture, you know?" "Each song has a little soul, a little persona, it's own little birth certificate and favorite shoe shops." "It gives you a real 'warrior woman' kind of stance because you gain 5 or 6 inches." About the Steve Madden shoe designed to benefit R.A.I.N.N. "I'm sure Dolly Parton has me beat, but that's a whole 'another thing." About her huge shoe collection "I'm into knits when I'm home. To play onstage, I have to be put into a shield, some kind of contained thing. If I performed in a knit sweater, my playing would be sloppy. I always play in heels; it gives me more support." "I love being in a skirt and boots. It goes back to the librarian-principal look. I like the idea of carrying books around in a skirt." "May all your lives be blessed with shoes."

Hi Arron, Welcome to the board

Regarding the latter, this is currently my favourite pair - 5" stiletto ankle-boots bought at Ernest's of Paris on 19th February 2004 at our forum member's 2004 Euro Heel-Meet (photo by Calv - not in above pic of my collection)

Should be saturday morning 7th february 2004

I GOT 'M !!!

I got my POD's. Style Sloane. When I first saw them I like them. That was at the end of 2002.

When I received my creditcard My size was gone, not available at Tallgirls or 9to11.

Later I saw them at James & James , but also my size 44 was gone. I asked the manufacturer POD about them, it was an old style they said and they won't come back. Off course I was a little dissapointed, but a few weeks ago I surfed again to James & James and there they were again....in size 44! Not in black, but in brown.

So I ordered them and today I received them. They fit like gloves and although they are not high -3 inch heel and 3/4 inch sole- I certainly will wear them outside.

I haven't missed out this time!

Robert

Thank you Heelfan, onwards and upwards to 1000 myself

Heelfan and Dawn, Congratulations with your 1000 and 500 posts respectively. :drinking: :drinking: Robert

Everyone to his taste

Paul, please try this link. http://oldold:newnew@www.titillatingtales.com/Galleries/Charlie'sPPS1xcq3n6kg9c53mg7/index.htm The %27 is replaced by ' Hope this will do the trick. Robert

The heel on the Naples boot is so neutral that anyone could wear it. Pity they don't do it in an ankle boot.

How about their Saint Germain and Neuilly styles?

:rofl: That's a good one Dr. Shoe!!!

O.k. Thank you very much Heelfan, I understand.

Now it's up to those who want to step outside if they want (read dare) to wear shoes and boots with 4 inch heels (if they can, I can't because it's my limit now - 2 inch I don't feel anymore and around 3 inch is my best) with the right trousers.

For trousers and jeans you can also look at http://www.tallgirls.co.uk/

Robert

Heelfan,

Where did you get these?

4 1/4" inch loafers:

4 1/4 inch? Personally I don't find them discreet. There are a few members asking if 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch is appropriate for their first steps outside. 4 inch and above are more bold
